We stayed at Song of Sea for our 15th Anniversary and loved it. Nice little quaint place. Exactly as described on line. Pleased with everything. Complimentary breakfast was perfect and we ate outside at tables. There were always beach chairs & umbrellas available, we were told if there were none there, notify front desk and they would bring some out. Pool was very nice and quiet. Property grounds are immaculate and our room was made up every day with fresh towels, etc. Nice that the room had a microwave, coffeemaker, refridgerator, etc. We loved Song of the Sea and will definately keep it in mind for future trips.

This property has improved dramatically from 2003. It goes to show how investing in people and facility can result in a resort that may be the best on the Island. It may not cater to all, but for the Guests that decide to invest a huge chunk of hard earned vacation dollars for a stay here, it's money well spent! All the Employees at Song of the Sea strive to make your stay extremely comfortable. The impression I get is that they really enjoy working at this beautiful Resort.
The rooms are inviting and very comfortable, and I highly recommend room #4120/Valencia for the best value. This room is located on the 2nd floor end of the pool facing building with a corner veranda that views the Ocean. The rooms in this building are offered at a lower rate. Rooms in the other two buildings are not worth the upgrade, unless you need the space of the Oceanfront suites.
Without tax, rate was $225 per night for 6 nights. This rate is a very good value for a place of this quality,
April was a great time of year to go to Sanibel. Clear blue skies, temps in the mid-80's everyday. February stays tend to be cold and limit Beach time.
Third stay here...this visit was the best!
Go in April and reserve a room at Song of the Sea.

We visit our clients in Fort Myers annually and wanted to stay on Sanibel Island. I found this hotel and its sister hotels online. I chose this one by the trip advisor reviews. We had an ocean front room. It was well layed out and the bed was very comfy. The bathroom was smaller than I would have liked but we managed. The staff are super friendly and will help you with anything you need. This place is best for couples not children. If you want to lay out on the beach you need to claim your beach chairs and umbrella early in the morning. They are free but go pretty fast. The sand and ocean are glorious. It was very peaceful and quiet on our stay.

Beautiful intimate resort with lots of things included-breakfast every morning from 7:30-10:00 which included fruit,yogurt,cereals and milk. coffee and juices,mufffins and pastries different breads,english muffins and bagels for toasting and a waffle maker for homemade waffles which were excellent. staff very friendly and helpful.received a free bottle of wine upon checking in which was nice also fresh flowers were in the room. beach chairs and unbrellas are free where other resorts charge daily fee never had a problem getting them.beach towels are provided in your room everyday.sanibel lighthouse is a 11/2 mile walk away which is nice to see and gather your shells along the way. i was amazed at all the beautiful shells on the beach. i would not recomended this hotel for children it is centered around couple-that is why it is called a intimate romantic seaside inn. there is nothing for children to do here-i would recomend one of the other resorts that is part of this family. would highly recommend The Timbers restaurant excellent food for the value also jerry's for breakfast. only complaint would be very small bathroom and it could also use a vent. sanibel island is a place to go if you want a romantic getaway without a lot of partying and noise. song of the sea was a great fine and i cannot wait to return.
